Prof Robert Hahn

How homeopathy is treated in meta-analyses

Prof Robert Hahn, an anaesthetist with extensive conventional clinical research experience, took an interest in the evidence base for Homeopathy after intense media debate in his native Sweden. He will share details of how his curiosity led to the discovery that several meta-analyses have been manipulated to conclude that homeopathy lacks clinical effect.

Dr Elizabeth Thompson

What are the priorities for clinical research and evaluation for homeopathy to become a valued part of the Integrative Medicine Model?

Dr Thompson, who has decades of experience as a Consultant within the NHS, will review the politics of homeopathic research. She will share her insights from designing, running and publishing a range of clinical evaluation and research studies, contributing to the overarching question about the direction homeopathy research programmes need to take in future.
